It is a virus infection. If acyclocvir is started within 48 hours it will abort the attack. In addition, anlagesics, antibiotics, if necessary steroids, and if there is neuralgia after the attack, Large doses of B1,B12,B6 injection etc shall be given

depends on the type of herpes. for example herpres zoster can be cured by ultrasound waves.

Not yet. My friend has it, and she takes suppresant drugs like valtrex. i'm sorry to hear about the illness, but try to continue practicing safe sex. just because you aren't going thru and outbreak doesn't mean it can't spread. I would recommend going to your doctor and discussing treatment/management of the disease.
